On a short by-trip from Moscow to
Lewiston Lewis's Woodpeckers became quite a common sight. The flight is
very like that of a flicker. Generally they look entirely black,
but when near by the crimson breast & whitey neck ring may be
seen. Lazuli bunting were also quite common-& can be
recognized at once by their song's similarity to the Indigo
birds. Ridgeway saw a band
of bandtail pigeons--near Portland.
